TRANSCRIPT
Dear Parents
Th is Term the students have
participated in a number of activities
and events achieving outcomes in all
Key Learning Areas ( KLA).
A few of the highlights have been the
outstanding digital movies/vimeos that
have been produced by the students, Bu
Anna, Bu Emma and Emily King which
you can view on our school website. The
level of students learning and
engagement as they have participated
in the process, using digital tools such
as the green screen, is 21st century
learning at its best. Seeing the
enjoyment, pleasure and delight in their
faces as they watch themselves on the
big screen, certainly creates a positive
school culture where many a giggle is
had by all.
The schools strong student leadership
has been well demonstrated this term
by the Anzac service that was run by our
school leaders at the beginning of this
term. I constantly get positive feedback
about the student-run service and what
an outstanding job they all did. This
calibre of SRC leadership was once again
displayed at the end of this term, where all
the students and staff enjoyed ‘Pirate Day’
and money was raised to help research
childhood cancer and was inspired by a
young boy and his family who is dealing
with cancer. You can count on me...the
Pirate Video is a must to watch.
Finally the outstanding contribution of
parents through fundraising and practical
support in the classroom and the activities
of schools, such as ILCA, continues to be
vitally important and contributes to
improved student achievement.
Best wishes for a safe and enjoyable
holiday break.
Thanks for your continued support

Weekly round up
mirrors or anything in your
shed that could make the
lives of our chooks better,
please can you drop them
into the school after the
holidays.
Thankyou.
Thanks to Bu Brooke who has
kindly offered to take the chooks
on a holiday to their old home
during the holidays. So do not
panic if you see the chook house
empty.
Next term we aim to enrich the
environment of the chook house.
If you have old ironing boards,
Chooks are going on Holidays to Bu Brookes Farm!

The Bush Hut by Zayn
At lunch on 22nd of June
Kobi, Banjo, Joel and I built
a tepee for us to rest in at
lunch and recess. We are
building a snake and
wombat farm because we want to
attract the wombats and green tree
snakes. Kobi built a jumping pad
and 2 offices, we made a roof with
tree branches. Ella, Zaki and Bridie
are our gardeners. We made traps
around the tepee because we were
trying to catch a possum. We got
rope from down the bottom of the
bush hut to tie the tee pee together.
We got wood from Will.

Give Me ‘5’ for Kids
In June every year the local radio station 2MCFM runs a
community fund raiser for the children’s ward of our
Macksville Hospital. People are asked to donate 5 cent
coins which buys vital equipment for the ward.
Every year I try to help by asking anyone if they would
give me their spare coins to help
”our kids”. If you can donate your 5
cent pieces or any coins, please
leave them at the school office.
Thanks Jo Lane
Reporting to parents is about
c o m p a r i n g s t u d e n t
achievement to syllabus
standards in each key learning
area and participation in school
activities.
Student achievement of the
syllabus standards is the goal
of planning, programming and
assessing.
Report ing progress and
achievement asks teachers to
make a ‘point in time’
judgement (assessment OF
learning) of the student’s
o v e r a l l p r o g r e s s a n d
achievement in relation to the
relevant syllabus standards.
School Reports
Report comments identify both
areas of student strength and
those for further development
(assessment FOR learning).
Opportunities for teachers,
students and parents to engage
in three-way conferencing on
samples of students’ own work
and the reports will occur in
term 3. If any parents are
concerned about their students’
progress, please
feel f ree to
approac h the
classroom teacher
to arrange a
meeting.
End of Term
Assembly
Have a safe and wonderful
holiday break. Students return
for Term 3 on Tuesday 14th July.

Community News
mention the sumptuous desserts on offer.
Whilst an impromptu disco was held
outside for the kids, the adults watched
adorable films and ate inside the LLLC.
Gillian, thank you for your wonderful
enthusiasm on the night and to all those
who helped create this event. A special
mention to the male washer uppers, Pete
and Nick, awesome work.
A P&C Mass Garage Sale is our next idea!!
Our inaugural food feast went off with a
bang last Friday night. After some misgivings
by partners that no one was coming, in they
flooded a bit after 6pm. The food was
incredible and really exactly what the whole
event was all about! An enormous ‘thank
you’ to all the families who came and
provided meals and enjoyed the short
movies. With very little outlay, except
goodwill and a bit of spirit, the night raised
approximately $400. My plate was piled high
with so much food, I luckily didn’t get to the
desserts. With curries, stews, quiches, rice
and meatball dishes, roasted vegetables,
local sourdough bread, pasta there was
something to please all the palates. Not to
